Rouen Cathedral, Cathédrale Notre-Dame de Rouen, is a Roman Catholic Gothic cathedral in Rouen, in northwestern France. It is the seat of the Archbishop of Rouen and Normandy. Newly-cleaned facade with some of its many statues. The 15th century Tour du Beurre (completed in the 17th century) is seventy five metres high and built in flamboyant gothic style. It was so named after a group of wealthy citizens donated large sums of money to the cathedral for the privilege of continuing to be able to eat butter during Lent

The Cathédrale Notre-Dame (daily: April–Sept 8.30am–6.45pm; Oct–March 8.30am–noon & 2–5.30pm; no visits during services) provides the city's very obvious focus. First of all, it dominates all else by its sheer size – it's the biggest Gothic building in France – but its appeal lies mainly in its unusual uniformity of style. Begun in 1220 under the architect Robert de Luzarches, only the tops of the towers were unfinished in 1269, and so the building escaped the influence of succeeding architectural fads that marred the "purity" of some of its more leisurely built sisters. Were it not for its renowned cathedral, few travellers would stop at AMIENS. Badly scarred during both world wars, and with heavy traffic pounding along the ring road built over its old city walls, it's not an immediately likeable place. Yet there's more to the town than first meets the eye. St-Leu, the medieval quarter north of the cathedral with its network of canals, has been renovated;
